[Shotimes] Carbon Fiber hood for the SHO

[Ron Porter]

I dunno, I'm all for lighter-weight cars, but to me, putting a CF hood on a
SHO is like a 300-pound person ordering a Wendy's Triple with Biggie Fries,
then getting a diet Coke!!  ;-)

Personally I would rather spend the money on 12# wheels to save unsprung
weight and help the performance.

Can you provide some more detail?  What is the weight of our stock steel
hoods and what would a CF hood weigh?

You didn't specify which Gen this applies to.

Are there any known issues with CF in this application?  Fiberglass hoods
had been known to delaminate in the past.
